Name: It was decided last night to be
"Eastern Iowa Disc Golf Club" this name won over "East Central Disc Golf Club" the vote was (15 - 3)

Structure: We need to define roles before we can elect them.

User Group: Work towards opening a user group on Iowadg.com. Hopefully this will allow people to be more comfortable posting online. Setup permissions so only club members can read/write. (Who is interested in Moderating?)

Next Meeting Time/Place should be discussed on here. We have followed a 2 week meeting trend. Bushwoods is a great bar and I fully agree with supporting their business. The only problem is that Bushwoods is to popular. Getting 20 people together and trying to talk over music and other bar noise was difficult.

I will say it again, It does NOT have to be at a bar, a lot more would get done if we had a least the first few organizational meetings somewhere besides a bar.( IE: community room at an apartment complex, meeting room at a bank, union hall etc.) I can get the Urbana Legion Hall anytime , but that is out of the way for the majority.

I agree. It's fun meeting at a bar to BS but not to establish club details.
Does someone know of a place like Crager is talking about that is more local? Any union guys that can use a hall?
I'm willing to travel to the Legion hall in Urbana if that's what it takes.

Cedar Rapids Library- Nice ladies said "it isn't against the law to have 20 people show up and use the book nook". Unfortunately they don't have a public meeting room that is private.

Marion Library- 2 rooms A seats 65 people, B seats 35 people (can make it more). Pretty much booked every night she said. Said they were booking through December (wtf 11 months in advance?)

Hiawatha- Have one meeting room seats 50 uncomfortably. Only allow people to book 1 month out. Only allow every group 1 reservation at a time. Library things take president over anything else. They ask if you are a for profit group you donate $10 (doesn't require the official state paperwork to prove you are nonprofit). Talked to Molly super nice!

Both Marion and Hiawatha didn't have anything open for 2/23/10. Hiawatha does sound like it would work out if we eventually switch to a monthly meeting schedule.

Besides the libraries westdale mall is always dead. The upstairs is pretty much just a random mall walker area. Thats my ghetto solution have it in a dead mall.

and again, if you all have pipe dreams of having new land to build courses and having 24 different secretaries. you're looking at this all wrong. baby steps. get people together, FIX THE COURSES WE HAVE FIRSTbefore you worry about the financial\responsibility issues. the cty doesn't want to hear a damn thing about disc golf. the city is still in ruins from floods.

2 goals

1. get written permissions to do improvments at our dime. city pays nothing.

2. get off your ass and work instead of playing. the city will see us taking care of the land that gets ignored and allow us to do more. clena up garbage, level out pads, clean debris, put in log stairs for mud inclines.

The same person that owns Bushwoods owns Third Base Brew. If I had like a weeks notice I know I could get us the back room. It's a private room. I would like to try to stay with them because I don't think it would ge out of bounds to get Dave Carry as a sponsor. He owns Bushwoods, Third Base Brew, DC Riverwalk Pub, Hitters Sports Park, DC's in North Liberty, The Fieldhouse in I.C. and Third Base/ Uncle Bucks in Des Moines. I think he would be a good sponsor if we gave him our business!
